I think I saw a Nikon F in a JFK documenatary

There's definitely one classic camera in view in the Zapruder film, and that's Mary Ann Moorman's Polaroid Land camera.

Sorry I didn't make myself clear. Yes I was in algebra on that Friday when Kennedy was assassinated. I was home on that Sunday morning watching live TV and saw Oswald killed, not in algebra.

So ... you have an alibi, then. Good for you! 😉

In one of many films about JFK this past week,
there definitely was a Nikon-F with Photomic head, not TTL.
I thought i must be dreaming..
sure they came later..

Shooting downwards is difficult, Not Impossible.
When i was a young, had an air rifle.
I was an amazing shot.
Once many years later at a shooting range,
a friend gave me his Beretta to shoot some targets.
I was to walk away and turn when he shouted.
I saw a line of bottles about 50 feet away.
I was on a rise, the targets below.
I shot as fast as possible.
I hit 8 out of 10.
Oswald had a scope, was a Marine "Sniper".
The why will never be answered.

The first Photomic head seems to have been introduced in March 1962 - so it had been available for quite some time by late 1963.

I was at Dealey Plaza last week. The grassy knoll isn't far from where the fatal shot hit. If anyone had been on the knoll I think they would have been spotted. The whole area is smaller than watching on TV would lead you to believe.
The first shot was at a lot steeper angle than I believed. The X here was the last fired.

I probably could have gone the rest of my life quite happily without seeing those autopsy photos (assuming they're legit; are they?). But I agree, they do seem to reflect a shot from the front. I just don't see how a shot could have come from the front, though.
